                                                                Abortion

      According to OMS (n.d.) “abortion is the termination of spontaneous or natural gestation and the introduced or provoked pregnancy.”

     Abortion is a very controversial topic and for many years and in all countries many people are debating if the abortion should be legal or not. Many people think that abortion is something bad, also that it is not well seen by the eyes of God and the abortion is commit murder; this is due to moral and ethical values which the people have, since the majority of people are Christian and what one of the commandments says, you shall not kill, but there are other people who think that it is okay and not is murder because the fetus not feeling.

     In the same way, the right to life is more important than all the rights that people can claim; according to the legal philosopher Shoe (n.d.) “Rights of security and subsistence are indispensable for the enjoyment of all other rights.”  Nevertheless there are some cases where the abortion it is necessary, for example when the mother’s life is in danger or if the baby is in very poor conditions and for that reason the baby will not good quality of life, but for many people this is also bad because you should receive the baby as God sends it since everything has a purpose.

     On the other hand, it's silly to think the baby does not feel. According to Curts (2015) three psychiatrists, Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini, and Richard Lannon:

Found that our nervous systems (and brains in particular), are not self-contained. From our earliest moments inside the womb, our brains actually link with those of the people close to us in a rhythm that physically imprints the very structure of our brains and influences our functioning for the rest of our lives. When we are in the womb, we imprint our mother's emotions and experiences as though they were are own. (Also backed up by researchers at the Traumatic Stress Studies Division of the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, Pregnant 9/11 survivors transmitted trauma to their children.

Despite how difficult some situations may be, it is always better to respect life; the baby is an innocent and defenseless being.
